It’s so annoying. There are always various problems when shipping goods out of Brazil. It’s so difficult to do business with this country!
The grossing aspect of dealing with Brazilian customs is shipment. Doing International Trade with Brazil is a daunting affair and the worst kind of people’s nightmare. The country runs around taxes which like most countries; import duties are an important tax revenue component. Therefore, Brazilian customs are quite rigid regarding the check and verification process of imported products. Below are some of the things to keep in mind to facilitate the customs clearance process...
Import Qualification: The beneficiary should possess a Brazilian import credential known as DI (Import declaration Certificate). The clearance processes are calibrated and based on the DI of which number identifies the entity and the operation. When the clearance is green, please give all the documents to have the goods released straight away. Yellow indicates that the required documentation is verified and the blue one confirmation of the documentation has been approved and the goods cleared. Red requires that both the verification of the documents and that of the goods is undertaken. In Gray clearance, the actual waiting time may go to about 3 - 6 months.
Accurate Import Documentation: Properly completed all import documents. The bill of lading and other documents like packages and invoices must be in agreement. The Import Packet Of Required Documents Includes a Packing List, Invoice, And A Bill Of Loading Most Import Qualification Documents Are Certification And Authorization. All documents must be perfect and coincide with the actual goods sold. Such documents and able authority must be real and still valid.
Don’t Understate the Value of Your Products: Refrain from submitting an exaggerated value of the goods or trying to hide any facts. The customs in Brazil are very competent in determining the approximate value of the products. The authorities will suspect undervaluation and therefore the goods will be placed in gray while the shipping company could take between one and two or even more months to clear the goods.
Wooden Packaging Should be Used Sparingly: One should refrain from using wooden packaging. In instances where wooden packaging is necessary, wooden elements such as pallets, all strips of reinforcement, and plywood will all need to be fumigation stamped.
One-Stop Customs Clearance is Not Possible: No single-payer customs clearance is allowed in Brazil nor is that of dual clearance services. Be informed, however, that agents purporting to possess the ability to give dual clearance may be fraudulent scammers; they will either vanish, shut their businesses, or take legal action against you.
It is also indispensable to adhere to the rules of the customs in Brazil so as to avoid customs clearance risk. In the course of carrying out international trade, adherence to the legal system of the receiving country is met. Strictly following these rules and regulations will bring out a favorable outcome.
